In the golden era of hospital psychiatry, prior to World War II, mental illness was considered a real but untreatable disease: most mental patients were left unmolested by doctors. Looking back, we call the hospitals “snake pits” and the patient management “neglect.” Today, in the golden era of biological psychiatry, mental illness is considered a real and treatable disease: mental patients are forcibly drugged, in prisons and prison-like facilities and while on psychiatric parole (“outpatient commitment”). Future observers will decide what names to attach to the now-fashionable psychiatric delusion and brutality.
